Need a place to live? Whether you’re in college looking for new digs to last you the school year, or you’ve just moved out of Kansas to explore your acting ambitions in LA, rentBits can help you find that perfect flat. rentBits comes from the minds of a gaggle of ex-Googlebots and uses vertical search technology to troll the web for apartments.The beta version just launched. It’s akin to a airfare search aggregator, only with apartment,condo and housing rentals. Just put in your search criteria (there’s no sign-in required) and rentBits will start crawling the millions of listings webwide to bring you results. Listings are comprehensive and updated daily. Among the websites searched are ApartmentHunterz.com, Sublet.com, and CityCribs.com. The service is free.

“rentBits is a search engine for rental listings. We offer a consumer search experience that is simple, fast and comprehensive. The rentBits index includes hundreds of thousands of single family home, condo and apartment for rent listings from major rental sites, associations and property management websites - and we continue to crawl new rental listings every day!”

rentBits is a great resource for college students and recent graduates. It’s particularly appealing to the current market as housing sales are plummeting and buyers are staying away.

Why are there no advanced search features? And what about Craigslist ? How is rentBits better than the bevy of competition?
